Some 50 members of migrant caravan reach Mexico, U.S. border

MEXICO CITY, April 19 (Reuters) - A group of 50 Central American migrants who set out from southern Mexico in late March have reached the U.S. border, having endured the long journey despite threats by President Donald Trump to secure the border with National Guard personnel.

Since peaking at around 1,500 people, the so-called migrant "caravan" has dwindled under pressure from Trump and Mexican migration authorities, who vowed to separate those migrants with a right to stay in Mexico from those who did not.

Some of those migrants began arriving in the Mexican border city of Tijuana on Wednesday and have requested asylum in the United States.

"Since yesterday, some began to cross into the United States to turn themselves in from Tijuana and request asylum. We understand more of (the migrants) will do the same," said Jose Maria Garcia, director of Juventud 2000, an organization dedicated to assisting migrants.

He said more migrants, many of whom are stranded in Mexico's central states, are expected to arrive in the coming days.

"We will continue to receive them and it will be up to them if they stay in the country or leave," Garcia said.

“Why is this country “receiving” them?”


Especially this bunch. It takes a real kind of stupid to try sneaking into a country in a... caravan, a highly publicized one at that.

NO!!!

If we send them to Gitmo then we STILL Foot the bill, and They will think that we sent them to a resort. Sun,Sand,Cool Ocean Breeze,3 hots & a Cot plus Medical Care.

NO ENTRY !!!

Jeeze that’s just about same as Deportation of Terrorscum to whatever place they came from- all that does is allow them to come back even more pissed off than before!!!

Deny Entry for the “migrants” !

Kill the Terrorscum or stick them in a C-130 and kick them out of the Ramp door over Shark infested waters from 30,000’

So Jose, the American taxpayers don't have any say in whether or not we want to carry these freeloading bastards on our backs? What the hell kind of country are we living in? Why didn't these invader bastards seek asylum in Mexico?

Well it’s been a busy year.. keeping. Obamacare, signing trillions in chuck. N Nancy liberal program and union bailout funding, welcoming Syrian rapefugees, and signing anti 2A laws. How about we just put American men and women down there where they will be outgunned, outmanned and outfunded? Maybe a little bounty on their heads for sporting fun, no?
Even tiny European countries are building walls, but we have an impotent or incompetent leftist in charge. But he will toss you a bone, while. He takes food off your table and puts it on someone else’s.

So they can be selective and we can't?

If we let them in after all that saber rattling, we’ll have NO end to trouble with migrants coming in at that border.

They’re not so stupid that they won’t know it’s all hot air after that.

Seems requesting political asylum is the “key” to getting through the U.S. Customs doors these days. Unless said immigrants can provide proof that they are in danger at their country of origin, slam the door and send them back.

under these circumstances, the wall is in effective.

By saying the magic words “i fear for my life, they’ll kill me” the pass through the wall

The law must be challenged by not allowing passage and forcing the migrants to fight ther legal battle from home

Who are letting them cross? Do they have the proper paper work? Visas? OR are they being led across at night by coyotes and then picked up? Effin invaders. SECURE THE DAMN BORDER.

I bet that only fifty out of the fifteen hundred were caught.

Fourteen hundred and fifty are now on social security and welfare...

Exactly why did they not request asylum in Mexico?

We’ve been had once again.

I just hate this kind of duplicity! I just hate it!

Also of note, is how Obama had a clandestine immigrant plan for African nations while he was in office. Its hard to find any data on the real numbers, but he paved the way for thousands and thousands of Nigerians and other African immigrants. This is totally aside from the Somali and Ethiopians that came in during the past 20 years.

Never know how effective it is or isn’t if it not built. Build the wall!
